Thank-you for FISH as volunteers end service
The FISH organization, started in March 1971 by women from area churches to aid families in emergencies, has quietly closed as of New Year’s Day after 35 volunteers, down from 75. They provided meals, babysitting, transportation, rides to shut-ins, reading to the blind, and daily welfare checks. Client need dropped from 250 in summer 1973 to 18 per month due to York County Community Action Center mini-bus service, and the steering committee may reorganize if needed.
